How to convert string to array of objects in javascript

Question

I want to convert this string to array of objects.

Here is my String

var a = 'SG 925|AMD-MAA|19:15|21:40|SG 703|VNS-BOM|19:45|22:05';

I want to convert like this

[
{'name':'SG 925','place':'AMD-MAA','from':'19:15','to':'21:40'}
{'name':'SG 703','place':'VNS-BOM','from':'19:45','to':'22:05'}
]

Here is what i have tried so far

var a = 'SG 925|AMD-MAA|19:15|21:40|SG 703|VNS-BOM|19:45|22:05';
a = a.split("SG ");
a = a.filter(function(e){return e}); 
console.log(a);

Here is my Fiddle

How can i do this in javascript?

Yes it always starts with SG, so i thought of doing string split to make it array.. — user3432407

If you have defined exaclty what the keys are gonna be like you could use something like this.

var a = 'SG 925|AMD-MAA|19:15|21:40|SG 703|VNS-BOM|19:45|22:05'
const arr = a.split('|')
const objArr = []

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i+=4) {
	objArr.push({
  	name: arr[i],
        place: arr[i+1],
        from: arr[i+2],
        to: arr[i+3]
  })
}

console.log(objArr)

var a = 'SG 925|AMD-MAA|19:15|21:40|SG 703|VNS-BOM|19:45|22:05';
a = a.split("|");
answer = [];
a.forEach(function(value, i) {
  if(i % 4 == 0) {
     answer.push({
       name: a[i],
       place: a[i + 1],
       from: a[i + 2],
       to: a[i + 3]
     })
  };
})
console.log(answer);

Try this. :)

function convert(str) {
  var strArr = str.split('|');
  var objArr = [];
  for(var i=0; i<strArr.length; i=i+4){
   objArr.push({
    'name':strArr[i],
    'place':strArr[i+1],
    'from':strArr[i+2],
    'to':strArr[i+3]
   })
  }
  return objArr;
}

console.log(convert('SG 925|AMD-MAA|19:15|21:40|SG 703|VNS-BOM|19:45|22:05'));
